Use a form to open a Word doc

Hello:
Can someone please tell me how I can use a form or button to open a specific
MS Word document? I would like the user to be able to open the userguide(word
doc) with a button or form.
Thanks,
J

Just use

dim strDoc as string

strDoc = "c:\data\mydoc.doc"
application.FollowHyperlink strDoc

You can launch any type file....excel..pdf..etc. with the above.....

2. Printing report b after report a prints using report a's variables

3. using "if" but omitting the #n/a's

4. equation that will filter out #N/A's

5. "Matching" column A's values in column B

6. Formula's with #N/A's

7. 'Send As' messages stay in User A's sent folder.

8. more a's than b's

9. how do u invoke Tag b's Tag Handler from within Tag a's tag Handler?

10. Capture image of App#A's window from App#B

11. Copy all data from a:Class A's fields to the namesake fields of b:Class B.

12. vlookup prob with all #n/a's

13. Summing N/A's

14. Finding the Value (of text and numbers) between N/A's
